As Mrs. Jones told us: “About 60 people showed up. The land- lord ran amok and scared all but nine people out of the hall. Most of the tenants who stayed were those who had already paid their rent up until the end of the month and were therefore vigor- ously protesting against the land- lord’s threat that they were “tres- passers” and that he woulg “lock them out and store their belong- ings in the basement.” “Many of the tenants expressed fear that the landlord would carry out his threat while those who were able to defend them- ‘selves were out at work, It was this fear that lead us to the de- cision to go to’ the police, who upheld our conviction that the landlord had no right to evict People whose rent was paid up.” World youth to meet in Prague Young people from the four corners of the earth will con- verge on Prague, the Czecho- slovakian capital on July 15, to participate in the Inter- national Youth Festival which lasts for one month.
